A wet carpet due to sunroof leakage does not count as a water-damaged vehicle. Here are the details: 1. Identifying a water-damaged vehicle. Open the trunk and lift the cover to check for water traces in the corners and observe the rust condition of the onboard tools. Water levels below the chassis height do not qualify as water-damaged vehicles since they do not reach the chassis and thus do not cause water ingress inside the car. Water levels rising to submerge the wheels but not exceeding the dashboard classify as a severe level-two water-damaged vehicle. 2. The specific definition of a water-damaged vehicle. The vehicle begins to accumulate water, and internal components suffer damage due to the water. Additionally, water-damaged vehicles have corresponding flood levels. 3. Classification of water-damaged vehicle flood levels. Flood level one: water just reaches the vehicle's chassis. Flood level two: water reaches half the height of the wheels. Flood level three: water almost completely submerges the tires. Flood level four: water reaches the engine hood. Flood level five: water completely submerges the engine hood. Flood level six: water submerges the roof.
